Samba Config for DHCP Client Laptop

http://forums.opensuse.org –
Howdy Fellas,
I'll try not to be too wordy...
Want to get my openSUSE 11.2 (fresh install) laptop to see my network shares ...not to be a server or share any files. I've looked at 50 websites and everything seems to be "server" and "share" oriented. Maybe I (newb) am confused by the terminology...
I have a router that provides DHCP. My LAN PC's consist of a Vista laptop, an XP DAW, and a Kubuntu file server. Somehow I got Kubuntu configured properly, all of the Windows machines can access it and vice-versa. The Kubuntu smb.conf does not work on this laptop, and it seems overkill -no shares needed here. And yes, I get DHCP and interweb on the laptop -posted this with it.
All I want is access to my (other) network drives from this (openSUSE 11.2) laptop. Not a server, not to share. This is easy... right? It's driving me nuts!
Is there a Samba configuration that will let me jump onto networks and surf Windows/Samba shares like any old Windoze box browsing Network Neighborhood? Do I have to be a Samba guru?
Please post an example smb.conf
Thank you in advance, I know someone will cause me to face-palm. I also know you guys are awesome! :]

I am Using Ubuntu (Kubuntu) on server side for quite a long time and on desktop for about couple of years. Recently I have Installed Kubuntu 14.04 on Dell 1015 laptop with samba server from repositories. I have also created a Virtualbox XP vm which is suppose to emulate client to Main Kubuntu Server.
